Hi list,
I'm new to BIRD - considering making the switch from Quagga as I'm tired of bugs (in OSPFv3 especially).
Just a note, there is one bug in recent Quagga in OSPFv3 that makes interoperability problems with BIRD. It is probably fixed in version 0.99.16 see: http://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-dev/2009-December/007480.html http://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-dev/2009-December/007571.html
The first part of my existing Quagga configuration I attempted to convert, but could not figure out how to, was the following:
interface eth0 ip address 192.168.0.1/24 ipv6 address 2001:db8::1/64
Am I right in understanding that there's no way of doing this in BIRD?
Yes, BIRD expects to have IP addresses configured from OS.
I could keep the zebra daemon around for this purpose but it would be kinda lame...
Most people probably configure IP adresses using OS (or Linux distribution) scripts.
I'm also curious to hear if there's any plans for VRRP support?
